multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the central nervous system in which t cells experience a second phase of activation, which ultimately leads to axonal demyelination and neurological disability. the recent advances in stem cell therapies may serve as potential treatments for neurological disorders. there are broad types of stem cells such as neural, embryonic, mesenchymal and hem...

purpose: to report the outcomes of conjunctival-limbal autograft (clau) in patients with unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) emphasizing surgical problems, complications, and their management. methods: in this prospective interventional case series, clau combined with amniotic membrane transplantation as a graft was performed on 26 patients with unilateral total lscd due to chem...

purpose: to separate and characterize orbital fat-derived stem cells (ofscs) and compare its cellular and molecular properties with those of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) and adipose-derived stem cells (ascs). methods: stem cells from orbital fat, abdominal fat and bone marrow aspirates have been isolated. we assessed stem cell specific cell surface markers using cytometry, ...

conclusions large amounts of preclinical studies have been made of stem cells and there is an increasing interest to perform these studies within the human population but preclinical studies are insufficient; therefore, much more and efficient studies should be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of stem cells. context musculoskeletal injuries may be painful, troublesome, life limitin...

background:   objective: this study presents an economical and simple co-culture system for pluripotent stem cells generation from neonatal mouse testis   materials and methods: isolated testicular cells were cultured in dmem/f12. characteristics of the isolated cells and obtained es-like cell were immune-cytochemically confirmed by examining the presence of plzf, vimentin, oct4 and nanog prote...
